ELENA

I laid on my bed, hands on my tummy as I gave it a gentle massage. The day had stressed me out so much I was cramping a little.

Alessandro wasn’t back yet. He must have gone after Aria to soothe her feelings for being harsh to her.

I picked up my phone and went through my messages, one caught my attention.

“Good day Elena. I don’t know if you will remember me, it’s Alex from the party.”

I searched my brain trying to recall any Alex I met at a party. Then it clicked.

“Hi.” I texted back.

His reply came instantly.

“She replies.”

I sent a laughing emoji. “Isn’t the essence of a text to get a reply back?”

“I know. I just didn’t think you were going to reply.”He wrote.

I got up from my bed, went to the mini freezer and got an Ice cream. I was suddenly craving sugar. My cramps are long gone.

“Why would you think that?”

“I figured your husband wouldn’t be happy with you texting other men.”

I rolled my eyes at the text, even though he couldn’t see me.

“Luckily for me, my husband doe

    ELENAI closed the door behind me and leaned against it. My racing heart slowly calms down. I went to my room, changed into my nighties and went to the living room.I was painfully aware he was on the other side of the wall, not knowing if he was alone was killing me. I tried to listen, if I could pick up any sounds but I couldn’t hear a thing. I gave up and went to my room to sleep.The next morning, I got up to get ready for the event. I wore corporate pants and a buttoned up shirt. My hair was neatly packed up. I went in with mascara and lipstick. Nothing too much. I wanted to appear as professional as possible.A taxi was outside, waiting. I got in and gave him directions to the gallery.The gallery had an understated elegance. clean white walls, gentle spotlights and a quiet hum of conversation drifted through the space. I stepped inside, signing my name on the registration form with a steady hand. though my heart was racing a little.This was it. The first step to my independ

    ELENAThe text from Alessandro had disorientated my thoughts. I contemplated if I should answer it or just ignore it. I knew ignoring him was playing with fire but I did anyway.I was suddenly in the mood for a drink, so I got dressed in a casual gown. Nothing too much for a late night drink.I got to the bar, found a seclusive spot and sat down. My drink came seconds later and I sipped while looking around the bar.I had intentionally left my phone, I didn’t know what I was going to do if he had texted me again. “Is this seat taken?” A voice said behind me.I inwardly sighed. I just wanted to be on my own.I turned towards him, a smile plastered on my face. “Alex!” I stared at him, shocked to see him here. How is he here?“Hi, Elena. You can imagine my surprise, seeing you here, all alone.”“If I didn’t know better, I would say you’re stalking me,” I chuckled, but it wasn’t funny. There’s only so many ‘coincidences’ one can believe.“You beat me to it,” he said, half smiling. “ I w

    ALESSANDRO “Can’t this car move any faster?” I snapped at my driver, irritation gnawing at my skin.“Sorry sir, traffic is back.”Elena was testing me and I will make sure she gets what she's looking for. I checked my wrist watch for the thousandth time. I knew she was in New York, I just didn’t know where she was in particular. She had taken one of my credit cards with her. Smart girl. I was wondering how she was going to get by. The car finally pulled into the airport and I almost sprinted out of the car. My driver ran after me with my luggage in hand, he handed them over to the air hostess. “Let’s go,” I muttered and got into the Jet.I checked her social media to see if I could get a hint on where she was, but nothing. What was I expecting, she wasn’t a social media kind of girl.I had first gone to her house. If anyone should know where she is, it was her sister. But Alessia was stubborn. She had insisted she had no idea of her sister’s whereabouts, but I knew she was lying

    ELENA“You are where!?” I pushed my phone farther from my ear as Alessia screamed from the other end of the line.“On my way to New York.” I repeated myself as I dragged my suitcase in one hand and held my phone in the other. The Airport was busy, people strode in and out. Families hugging themselves as one of them departs. I dragged my suitcase to the checking point. “I will call you back.” I ended the call and stood to be checked. I knew it was a stupid idea to pack my bags and leave without informing anyone. But there was no turning back now. “Your bag ma’am.” The security demanded. I pushed my hand bag towards her and waited for the search to be over.Finally, I was cleared and I went to check in. Right on cue, Alessia called me back.“Why did you end the call?”“I was about to be searched,” I replied as I watched my suitcase being wrapped.“Wait. You’re not joking?” “No, I am not.” I can almost see her face right now. The shock on it would be so funny.“How did you pay for

    ALESSANDRO I sat back in my chair and cracked my knuckles. I looked around the conference room of my club, everyone was talking to themselves.I closed my eyes, I could still see Elena’s face and hear her voice in my head. “I am here.” She whispered in the most tender way.I haven’t had one of those nightmares of when Dad died. I could hardly talk about it. Years of therapy couldn’t bring me to say it. Partly, I hated myself for leaving him alone. I was scared if I had told them, they would have judged me like I judged myself. I shouldn’t have survived alone. That night had been like every other night, whenever I slept over at my mom’s. I figured it had something to do with my childhood room. I always had nightmares of that night, that’s the reason I don’t sleep over there any longer. “You just go around getting laid with different women.” Oscar deadpanned. His face locked on Simone.“At Least one of us is getting laid. I heard your wife doesn’t sleep with you anymore? Is that why

    ELENAWhen I finished in the bathroom, Alessandro was already asleep. He must have used another bathroom. I dressed up and went to the side of my own bed.I carefully threw the covers open, and slipped in. I went through my messages, then remembered I had to text Alex.“I’m sorry for leaving without informing you. Something came up.” I sent the text and was about to shut my phone when his reply came in instantly.Is he always on his phone?“Let me guess. Husband came for you?” I looked over to Alessandro where he was sleeping soundly.How can he sleep so peacefully? Is he not scared I might hurt him in his sleep?“Yes.” I texted back. “We had a family function to attend to.”“Care if I ask what it was?” He texted.Is he always this nosy?“It’s personal.” I shot back.I was getting annoyed with his questions.“We’ll catch up later.” I sent before he could pry me with more questions.I dropped my phone by my nightstand, my mind racing in a million thoughts before sleep took over.I ha
